How to make a Text Area with interactive text in a win form with VB.Net?

I would like to develop an interactive software version of a multi-volume paper based text book with more than one language.

In this application I have to develop an interface which will display the text in one language and it should display the meaning of each word in the text whenever the user mouse-over each word in the text and some actions should be performed when the user click on a particular sentence and/or word.

Kindly help me to accomplish this requirement.

Thank you

You can use a label control, and on mouseover/mouseclick just get the location of the mouse and act on that information.

You can also try using multiple labels (one per line, for example) which will complicate things more.

You can use a richtextbox and use the SelectionStart to provide you with the information on the word selected (this would require the user to select text, not just hover/click it.)

Hope this helps

Thanku 4 helping on my hover text area requirement.

Your suggestion is very helpful for simple text displays.
But I have to display a bulk amount of text page by page of a multi volume multi langualge text book.

So please help me in finding a solution for giving a hover effect for each words in the text pane without having to select the text, and click events for each of the words.
